Home›Fish›Diet›Detritivore or ScavengerBrowse ByDetritivore or ScavengerDiet groups species by what they mainly eat: herbivores that feed on plants, carnivores that feed on other animals, omnivores that eat both, and narrower feeding styles such as insectivores, piscivores, filter feeders, detritivores and scavengers, and parasitic species that live on or in a host. A species is placed by its own typical adult feeding behavior as described on its page, not by an occasional or unusual meal.FactsDetritivore or ScavengerSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonReproductive ModeWell-attestedOviparous (Egg-Laying) 1Detritivore or ScavengerFilter Results5 entriesCommon GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Eels (Anguilliformes) (1)Other Bony Fish (1)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (2)Everyday GroupAllAncient And Relict Fish (Coelacanth, Lungfish) (1)Eels (Anguilliformes) (1)Other Bony Fish (1)Perch-Like Fishes (Perciformes) (2)HabitatAllFreshwater (1)Marine (2)Open Ocean (1)River (1)Where It LivesAllAlbania (1)Algeria (1)Antigua and Barbuda (1)Argentina (1)Australia (1)Bahamas (1)Barbados (1)Belarus (1)Brazil (1)Bulgaria (1)Cabo Verde (1)Canada (2)Chile (2)China (1)Colombia (1)Comoros (1)Costa Rica (1)Cuba (1)Denmark (2)Dominica (1)Dominican Republic (1)Ecuador (1)Federated States of Micronesia (1)Fiji (1)France (1)Germany (1)Greece (1)Grenada (1)Guatemala (1)Guinea-Bissau (1)Haiti (1)Honduras (1)Hungary (1)Iceland (1)India (1)Indonesia (1)Israel (1)Italy (1)Jamaica (1)Japan (1)Lebanon (1)Lithuania (1)Madagascar (1)Maldives (1)Marshall Islands (1)Mauritius (1)Mexico (4)Mozambique (1)Myanmar (1)New Zealand (1)Nicaragua (1)North America (1)Norway (2)Oman (1)Palau (1)Panama (1)Papua New Guinea (1)Peru (1)Philippines (2)Portugal (1)Romania (1)Russia (1)Saint Kitts and Nevis (1)Saint Lucia (1)South Africa (1)South Asia (1)South Korea (1)Spain (1)Sweden (1)Tajikistan (1)The Atlantic Ocean (1)The Mediterranean Sea (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (2)Conservation StatusAllLeast Concern (4)System (Realm)AllFreshwater (2)Marine (3)Living or ExtinctAllYes (5)Relationship to PeopleAllHunted or Fished (1)Invasive or Introduced Species (1)Kept as Pets (1)CITES AppendixAllNot Listed (4)NatureServe RankAllG5 Secure (1)GNR Unranked (1)TaxonomyAllCypriniformes (2)Myxini (1)Perciformes (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5Common RemoraDetritivore or ScavengerKuhli loachDetritivore or ScavengerMyxine GlutinosaDetritivore or ScavengerRemoraDetritivore or ScavengerSmallmouth buffaloDetritivore or ScavengerSources1.
